HISTORY
Fairtec has been an established value in the Benelux landscape of industrial trade fairs for over 15 years.
The “Technical Engineer Foundation” evolved from a strong technical background to become an independent section called STIVAK vzw (non-profit association). The latter became the nv Fairtec (plc) in 1991.
Under the management of former director Willie Mersseman the trade fair portfolio was extended with amongst others the M+R one-day fair success formula and also with Subcontracting and others. A number of partnerships that focused on complementarity between organisations were further developed with external partners.
These expansion and cooperation trends have again been boosted by Koen Damman, Fairtec’s director since November 2000. The addition of a number of events and seminars to Fairtec’s programme represents a challenge for the team of highly qualified employees.
On 1 November 2006, organiser Fairtec moved to its brand new offices in the Ternesselei 330 in Wommelgem, where the partitioning and layout are targeted at optimizing cooperation and internal communication. |
